As expected, Sony has today officially launched their new NEX-7 all-in-one compact camera with interchangeable lens, the one used by Sony’s high-end Alpha a77 DSLR. The Sony NEX-7 is a Micro Camera equipped with a 24.3 effective megapixels Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor and boasts the world’s fastest (0.02 sec) release time lag, combined with a quick responsive autofocus.
Advanced Features and Capabilities
The NEX-7 is also equipped with a high-resolution XGA OLED Tru-Finder and built-in flash, and is capable of recording full HD movies with 50p/25p. There are also web options allowing you to capture directly as MP4 at 30 FPS at 1440 × 1080 or 640 × 480 resolutions. This makes the NEX-7 not only a powerful tool for still photography but also a versatile device for videographers who need high-quality video recording capabilities.
On the rear of the camera, there is a 7.5 cm Xtra Fine LCD that can be angled up to 90 degrees up or 45 degrees down, with TruBlack technology providing improved contrast and dramatically reducing on-screen reflections. This flexibility in the LCD screen allows photographers to shoot from various angles, making it easier to capture the perfect shot in challenging conditions.
Design and Usability
The design of the Sony NEX-7 is sleek and compact, making it an ideal choice for photographers who need a high-performance camera without the bulk of a traditional DSLR. The camera’s body is made from a durable magnesium alloy, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of daily use. Additionally, the NEX-7 features a Tri-Navi control interface, which allows users to quickly and easily adjust settings using three separate dials. This intuitive design makes it easier for photographers to make on-the-fly adjustments without having to navigate through complex menus.
The NEX-7 also includes a range of creative features, such as Picture Effects and Sweep Panorama mode, which allow photographers to experiment with different styles and techniques. The camera’s built-in HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode helps to capture more detail in high-contrast scenes, ensuring that both shadows and highlights are well-exposed.
